Could I ever win Britain’s/America’s Got Talent? No.

Following up on previous post about Darcy Oake, I started thinking to myself “Could I ever win Britain’s or America’s Got Talent?” After all, I’m a magician. If I practiced up a bit, could I win?

Those thoughts lasted about ten seconds. The answer is no. Why do I think that?

Because I’m not good enough.

I have a couple of tricks in my repertoire that I do very well. However, I’m just not that good an entertainer. When I watch myself on video performing, I cringe. What I think I am doing and what I am actually doing are two separate things. I used to think I was pretty good but if I am brutally honest, I am average. Perhaps only mediocre as a performer.

So I keep my interest in magic as a hobby, and it’s probably never going to happen that I’ll turn pro. But that’s okay. It’s still fun to do, and I do always keep it in the back of my mind that *maybe* one day I’ll strike it big.
